The popular game Roblox is now accessible through a wide variety of devices with a total of more than 70 million daily active users. This can lead to difficulties for some players to interact smoothly, especially when involving foreign languages.
But it looks like that can be solved with a new real-time AI chat translation feature recently developed by Roblox. It allows players to chat fluently while typing in their native language and up to 16 different languages are supported which include English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Spanish.
Watching the demo shown, the chat window will automatically translate any text into their native language. At the same time, it makes it easier for the players to see and understand the conversation in their respective languages. In addition, they can also see the original text by simply clicking the button next to the translated text.
The translation is done in real time with a latency of about 100 milliseconds. It is also understood that Roblox has built its own internal LLM to make it successful. As well as continuing to commit to improving its accuracy continuously, and allowing translations to be made in various other dimensions including 3D models.
This feature is ready to use today.
